KER Eventers on Top of the World After Successful Weekend

Eventers sponsored by Kentucky Equine Research took the top places at events around the world 21-24 March 2019. Amanda Ross and Koko Popping Candy stormed around cross-country to win the CCI4*-S at the Australian Eventing Championships at Wandin Park. Meanwhile, in the United States, Liz Halliday-Sharp and Buck Davidson won the CCI4*-S and Advanced divisions, respectively, at the Carolina International CCI and Horse Trials.

Amanda Ross and Koko Popping Candy were crowned the Australian Eventing Champions in the CCI4*-S. “She (Koko Popping Candy) continues to amaze me… such a competitor. There’s some inter-tribe rivalry brewing now she’s beaten Diesel in the sand dancing!” Amanda said in a Facebook post about the win. Two of “Zarzy’s” stablemates also competed in the CCI4*-S. Dicavalli Diesel finished third and Dondiablo finished fifth in his debut at the level.

Amanda chooses to nourish her horses with Restore, EquiShure™, EO-3™, and Synovate HA®.

“When stress levels rise, feed isn’t always eaten or digested as well as it needs to be,” explains Amanda. “EquiShure is one of the best products to ensure all of my feeding and management efforts aren’t wasted, and it makes the horses feel so much better!”

Young rider Sophia Landy also competed in the CCI4*-S, finishing eighth on ESB Golden Geisha and eleventh on her 2018 Young Rider Championships partner Humble Glory.

Sophia describes her horses’ recovery process as, “lots of icing, walking and of course Kentucky Equine Research Restore Paste.”

Jumping clean around both show jumping and cross-country, Megan Jones and RLE Barina moved up from ninth after dressage to finish third in the CCI3*-S.

Megan relies on KER B-Quiet, EO-3, Equi-Jewel, EquiShure, Hemabuild, Nano-E, Preserve, and Restore Powder and Paste to provide expert nutrition for her top-level horses.

In the United States, Liz Halliday-Sharp dominated the CCI4*-S at Carolina International CCI and Horse Trials, taking first and second place in the division with Fernhill By Night and Deniro Z. Liz also finished second in the CCI3*-S with Flash Cooley. The pair were tied for first in Flash Cooley’s debut at the level but were beaten by only one second in the tie-breaker.

Buck Davidson took top honors in the horse trial at Carolina International, winning the Advanced division with Carlevo. He also finished fourth in the Open Intermediate with Approved Power.
